From: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison@xxxxxxxxx> The sysfs file read helper does not actually report any errors if a realloc fails. It just silently returns a 'valid' but truncated buffer. This then leads to the decode of the buffer failing in random ways. So, add a check for ENOMEM being generated during the read.
